Fundraise for UNICEF's Silent Emergency Fund
War and natural disasters have an especially fierce impact on children in developing countries.
Both put their health and well being at risk. Both can separate them from their parents, or make them orphans.
By joining the UNICEF Emergency Response Team, you can help provide lifesaving food, water, sanitation, health care and protection to young people caught in emergencies worldwide.
All of the money you raise will go directly to UNICEF NZ’s Silent Emergencies Fund, a pool of readily available funds which go to where the need is greatest. This includes ongoing emergencies in countries like Darfur, Congo (DRC), Haiti and the Horn of Africa. It's also standing by for new emergencies so that UNICEF can act quickly, saving as many lives as possible.

Find out more about our work in emergencies.
For over 60 years, UNICEF has been providing life-saving assistance to children caught in humanitarian crises.
Our continuing presence in more than 150 countries means that we are often on the spot long before, and long after, a crisis or unstable situation occurs. Our role in emergencies is to save lives, alleviate suffering, and protect the rights of children. And because we remain when others may leave, we ensure that emergency aid turns into long-term recovery and development
Our field staff works hard to relieve the suffering of children and their families.
Measles, diarrhea, acute respiratory infections, malaria, and malnutrition are the major killers of children during humanitarian crises. Therefore, emergency immunisation is one of our priority interventions, along with vitamin A supplementation and therapeutic feeding centers. We also work to ensure safe supplies of drinking water, and to improve sanitary conditions for communities and the displaced.
We help reunite parents with their children when they've been separated and make sure that children who are orphaned receive care and protection. We focus on psycho-social support for traumatised children, relief for child soldiers, prevention of HIV/AIDS and give special attention to women and girls caught in crisis situations. And we insist, that even in times of war, children attend school and have safe places to play and learn.
Re-building and re-establishing schools and health care services, providing permanent safe water supplies and sanitation facilities, and providing long-term care and support for orphans, are just a few of the activities UNICEF undertakes in the weeks and months following an emergency.
